The Goddess Is Obsessed With Me [Complete]

Chapter 41

"Daddy~!"

A bright voice of a child rings out across the peaceful field.

The sun is high in the sky, casting a warm glow on this spring day, making the weather a bit too warm for excessive activity.

"Hehehe~"

Yet, there's a girl, perhaps at the age where she's full of energy, running about the field, sweating profusely, but still appearing lively.

"Daddy, come with..."

On the other hand, the young man, presumably her father, is panting heavily, desperately trying to chase after his daughter.

"Heh... Heh... Huff..."

He gasps for breath, exhales loudly, wipes the sweat dripping from his chin, and bends his knees.

"Haha... As always, Miru has good stamina...!"

Despite being out of breath, the father manages a forced smile, praising his daughter.

"Daddy!"

Thud-!

"Whoa?!"

Caught off guard while catching his breath, he's tackled by his daughter's surprise attack and falls to the ground.

Even if it's accidental, his fatherly instincts kick in, and he shields his daughter with his body even as they fall.

"You know it's dangerous to suddenly run like that, right?"

He gently scolds her without being too harsh. But then...

"But, when you're like that, I just want to hug you, right?"

Despite being reprimanded, she responds with a bright smile, making her father smile weakly in return.

"Daddy's hugs are always warm!"

She rubs her cheek against her father's chest, reminiscent of a puppy showing affection to its owner.

"Daddy's doing his best, always giving his all. It's just that brother Elik doesn't appreciate him..."

Her mood changes, and there's a hint of sadness in her voice.

"Miru?"

His daughter's emotions seem to change quickly, but her next words are full of warmth.

"Daddy's a great person, the best daddy for me!"

The wind blows her hair, and it's hard to tell if the moisture under her eyes is sweat or tears.

He didn't do anything wrong, but the thought that he might have made his daughter cry saddens him.

"It's okay!"

To lighten the mood, he exclaims with a bit of forced cheerfulness.

Holding her, he stands up and flashes a positive smile.

"It's great to have a daughter who thinks of me like this."

She looks a bit puzzled by the sudden change in mood but quickly wipes away her tears.

"Yes! I love daddy! Because you always play with me!"

Her words could be taken negatively, but she follows her father loyally, like an adorable puppy.

She might not have a puppy's tail, but her excitement, swaying left and right, gives a similar vibe.

"It's not that daddy is weak! It's just that daddy is a human, and I'm from the dragon clan, right?! There are physical differences due to our races!"
